Malva Pudding (aka- heaven on a plate)

 

malvapudding

We had this South African dessert at our dinner in the bush and all 10 of us wanted to lick our plates clean.  Seriously.

I decided to give it a go for one of our Wednesday night dinners and I have to say- I have not lost my baking skills.  I thought a couple of the guys were going to get into when they clamored forward for their second helpings. 

Actually, I don’t know if I’ve lost any of my baking skills because this was no test of them.  Super easy to prepare, sinful ingredients (be ready to gain a pound or two just smelling it) and absolutely one of the yummiest desserts I’ve ever made.    If you know me, you know that is saying a lot- I used to bake over 30 dozen cookies at Christmas and that was just the cookies.

I got the recipe from here.  It sucks having to convert from metric,  but just Google it.  Serve it piping hot with vanilla ice cream.  You can totally make ahead and reheat it.  Just make it  per the instructions (go ahead and pour the sauce over it the first time it comes out of the oven) and then pop it in the oven again when you’re ready for it.

Keep in mind- this is a SUPER sweet and SUPER decadent dessert.  Definitely not one to serve to the “I’d don’t really have a sweet tooth” kind of guest.
